Easter 2011

 

Elaina puts together some pretty great activities for Olivia and her cousins.  This year’s Easter egg hunt was awesome!

 

Great hiding places….

 

 

A TON of eggs with great prizes…..

 

And some happy kiddos.

Utah Trip Part 2

We met up with my friend Kevin Connor for some 4-wheeling out in the dunes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Elaina came in 2nd place in her division of the St. George triathlon!

 

She even talked the kids into competing!

Love this wife of mine.

 

Here are some great photos with Helen and her legacy of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

 

Big cats

A little outing for Olivia and the girls to ‘Cat Tails’ which is Spokane’s version of a cold, sad, zoo… for large cats.

 

 

We stumbled upon this carnival in a vacant lot and thought, “hey this looks legit and safe.  Let’s try out the roller coaster!”

Daisy and Lily played a game to win gold fish.

And by “played” and “win” I mean we finally spent enough money to actually buy the fish.

Both mom and dad said NO to bringing the fish home …… so…….  WE have a new pet!  It’ll only live for a month or so right?

 

Olivia has some pretty great cousins.

Utah Trip Part 1

We took a loooong trip to Utah.  Here are the highlights!

 

 

St. George – Best. Cupcakes. Ever.

 

Zion National Park.

 

 

We took some great hikes and Olivia only cried in the backpack for a solid hour!  Very relaxing!

 

Potty training is (not) fun

 

I have often heard Mothers guilt trip their children about the number of hours they spent in labor.

I think they should really use the number of hours spent sitting with that child to get them to go in the dang toilet!
